Who We Serve
People Experiencing Homeless
AAPCI’s work focuses on some of the most vulnerable: those experiencing homelessness, the chronically homeless, those suffering from mental illness or from debilitating medical conditions, survivors of domestic violence, and those who have developed resistance to traditional shelter.
Survivors of Domestic Violence
The mission of AAPCI’s domestic violence programs is to offer survivors and their minor children, a safe but temporary haven in which to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. The secondary goal is to prepare families for independent living, assist them in locating permanent housing within or outside the State of New York, and to offer a host of on- and off-site supportive services that will help empower victims and minimize the root causes of domestic violence. Through the development of Serenity House and the Renee Steedley Family Residence, we are addressing the myriad of needs of domestic violence survivors.
People Experiencing and Living With Mental Illness
AAPCI’s supportive housing offers a life-enriching alternative to both institutionalization and street homelessness. Hundreds of our clients manage serious mental illnesses while living independently in our housing, with the support of on-site case managers and linkages to appropriate care.
People Living with HIV/AIDS and Histories of Substance Abuse
With the stability of a secure home, AAPCI tenants living with chronic illnesses are able to access essential medications, manage their condition with regular preventive care, and address psychological issues that may contribute to the course of their disease.
Veterans
AAPCI has long devoted considerable resources to addressing homelessness among veterans, who on average make up about 5% of our total client base. Significant progress has been made over the past decade to end veteran homelessness, and we continue to do everything possible to reach that goal.
Families in Need of Affordable Housing
Stable, affordable housing is essential for families to grow and thrive. Edwin’s Place, AAPCI’s first affordable residence designed primarily for families with children, opened in 2020 in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Our second affordable housing residence, Glenmore Manor, is projected to open in mid-2025. More than half of our current 359 apartments provide two or three bedrooms. Our housing for families helps people coming out of the shelter system or those at risk of homelessness to find a stable and affordable home.
Low-income Working Families and Single Adults
Critical to the success of AAPCI’s housing management model is our commitment to inclusive, mixed-income communities. Rather than being marginalized in quasi-institutional settings, our formerly homeless tenants live amongst a diverse group of low-income New Yorkers. Glenmore Manor, a 233-unit apartment complex in Brooklyn, NY, is our second affordable housing complex serving a variety of individuals from various walks of life.
Seniors
AAPCI is increasingly housing older adults. Over the last five years, the senior population (62 and older) within AAPCI’s permanent supportive residences has grown to represent nearly 30% of our total resident population. We continue to seek innovative ways to develop senior-specific housing for vulnerable populations. Glenmore Manor Senior Apartments is our first senior housing development with wrap-around services.
